Topic: Events / Just published: No Red Pen- Writers, Writing Groups & Critique

I’ve just published a new book: No Red Pen – Writers, Writing Groups & Critique. The e-book is on amazon or you can get a free download off smashwords.com using this coupon: KL78N. The coupon is good until 3/15/2012 and only at smashwords. The print book will be available next month on Amazon.

I will also be at the San Francisco Writers Conference this weekend leading a workshop with another author on this same subject.

Topic: Events / How about this for a challenge?

Okay, I have an idea, how about a challenge where we would write three stories;

• The first one at exactly 150 words (with title)
• The second at 100 words (with title)
• and the challenger round at 75 words (With title).

Each round would last one week. The winner of each round would pick the theme for the next round. The winner of the last round gets to think up a new challenge.

We would need a judge or panel of judges.

Anne has to agree
choose the first theme
and appoint a judge or judges. Anyone in?

Topic: Events / Twisted Tales Extra Star Twister

Twisted Tales Extra Star Twister

One of the things we want to encourage in Twisted Tales is a healthy level of participation from the group members.

We know that sometimes people can be put off entering competitions because the same people always seem to win, or because you don’t have the time to network enough to get your work noticed.

We at Twisted Tales would like to create as meritocratic, encouraging, and supportive environment as possible for all budding writers; so this is a special Star Twister which is only open to those who have never won before.

The hosts will vote on the winning entries; the overall winner will go into the November Grand Final, along with all of the weekly winners, and have the chance to win the $10 Amazon Voucher.

The prompt is The Gift and you can take from that whatever you wish!

Just to give you an extra chance to get your creative juices flowing this Special Star Twister will run from now until Midnight (UK time) on the 16th of November.

Remember:
1. We have now increased the word limit to 350 words or less
2. Must have a twist
3. Must be a story
4. Must include/be based on the prompt
5. Tag your work TTSTNEWBLOOD
6. Add to Twisted Tales Group & post a link in this forum by midnight Sunday
16th of November
7. All Twisted Tales members can enter (except previous Twisted Tales winners)
8. The winner will be announced within a few days of the competition closing
9. Entrants who comment on every story will receive a bonus point towards their
final score in the event of a tie.
10. There is no limit to the number of entries members may submit.
11. The overall winner will go into November Star Twisters’ grand monthly final
which all members will vote upon. The monthly winner will receive an Amazon gift
voucher to the value of US$10. Details of the monthly vote will be posted and
Bmailed to all members at the time.
12. The winning entry will become a featured story on the Group’s front page and you
the writer will remain a group featured writer for the next month.

Over the last few weeks there has been some confusion over closing times for section of the competition. Closing time is midnight in the UK whether we are on BST or GMT; if you want to know how this relates to your local time click here

You don’t have to be a photographer who writes poetry, you could be a florist who writes Flash Fiction, or an undertaker who writes limericks, a cop who writes cinquain, an elephant who writes epigrams or a nit nurse who writes novels.

Or someone who likes to hear great works read out or someone who doesn’t write at all but just wants to hang!

We’re not artistically snobby – or snobby in any way so anyone who can come is welcome to come along.

;o)

Topic: Events / Melbourne Writers meet 17 February 2008

Hello to any Melbourne writers out there.
The next meet up is this Sunday 17 February at 2pm at the Botanic Gardens – by the lake near the cafe. We’re planning a bit of a picnic style and readings.

Hope you are able to come along and enjoy our company.

Topic: Events / Melbourne Writers 6 January 2008

Hi there scribes and scribblers. The next meeting of RedBubble Melbourne Writers will be at noon on Sunday 6 January. It’s an informal affair in Northcote’s oldest building – a former church turned pub/bar/restaurant/venue!!!!

A feature of the next one will be everyone is invited to bring along two written pieces of modest length. They will be put in the centre of the table into a lucky dip, with pieces drawn out at random by different participants and read out to the group.

We had a mini reading at the last meet and I tell you what – you get a real kick out of hearing your words oralised.

I urge everyone who is local or who might be able to make the pilgrimage, to put Sunday 6 January in their diaries!!!!
